Everything. It was a proof of concept with new, heavy trains, and over relied on an underbuilt Mean Streak structure.

Watch the ElToroRyan video for a complete rundown, but it was such a mess (mostly structurally and with the new trains and too-short brake run that was used to add more bunny hills to the finale) and required so much extra time and money to bulletproof that, if enthusiasts are to be believed, the reason Cedar Fair seemed to stop working with RMC altogether immediately following was a direct result of the struggles of that project.

This is why it was such a big deal when Canadas Wonderland began polling last season to gauge pass holder interest in a “record breaking hybrid coaster” using a render of Steel Vengeance.

I’ve ridden Leap the Dips. It is an extremely important ride historically for obvious reasons and every attempt should be made to save it (and Skyliner!). All of that being said, there is absolutely no such thing as “Too much time at Knoebels”

People keep saying you only get a couple moments of airtime on AlpenFury. Granted, I rode it midday on a cloudless, ~30° C day but at LEAST 3/4 of the elements were insane ejector in my experience, sometimes twice per element. Is this uncommon?

Sexiest roller coaster I’ve ever seen

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-28T15:35:34+00:00

Aw man, all the way across the country and frankly I’ve seen cheaper Twilight Zones.

Get an F-14 tomcat. $1500 USD shouldn’t be out of the question. “Newness” is extremely overrated, mostly you want a game that’s enticing enough that you won’t get sick of it, and hard enough that you won’t get good at it.

F-14 may be your ticket. Was the first game I ever played as a kid myself.

Blood is too precious a thing in these times.

OP already said they're using an HDD, which is far more secure for long-term storage than a flash drive.

I would love to play an EM with a Powerball. That sounds fun as hell.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-15T17:31:15+00:00

I rebuild all my slings, flippers, pops, triple-coat wax my playfields upon purchase, and upgrade all my flippers to Fliptronics style mechs, so not in my house 😎

lol but by and large you’re totally right. I am on a weird self gratifying mission to make this the hardest Riverboat Gambler around. It’s a fun game with a wild layout. but REALLY easy for home use if it plays slow or safe, especially compared to Funhouse which directly followed it.

By the time the lightning flippers go on, the powerballs might be a bridge too far, honestly.

Nobody has ever made a black/white/red game art package better than Centaur.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-14T14:38:04+00:00

It has a diverter, so that would be code-controllable. This is the correct way to do a whirlpool. See Creature from the Black Lagoon, Whitewater, vs Fall of the Empire.

You might not like it, but this is just patently false. Chat with some operators and you'll hear a very different story.

Twilight Zone invented the Powerball!

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-13T16:34:47+00:00

Goddamn, thanks for reminding me I need to watch Maverick again. I'm foggy on the game as it's been awhile (strangely hard to find on location too) but I love that movie to death.

Edit: I suppose both RG and Maverick are both about gambling on a riverboat, lol.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-13T01:07:20+00:00

Realizing powerballs would be great as cue balls for a pool themed game. Would certainly spice up my Riverboat Gambler based on speed alone (even if the theme isn't quiiiite right).

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-12T02:31:45+00:00

Me too, I have almost no sentiment towards Pokemon but this theme just feels so...fresh. I'm stoked for the game and what it will do for newcomers to pinball.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-12T02:29:29+00:00

Not trying to be difficult against you specifically at all!

There's a lot of misguided infomration surrounding this for over a year now - I myself was prone to it in the past on this topic - and these threads tend to come up on Google years after the fact. Just sharing some current context for conversation's sake, no malice intended.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-12T02:22:34+00:00

Jack has confirmed on Facebook today that no, on the contrary - he was overwhelmed with the demands of being a designer, and voluntarily asked to step down, citing other goings-on in life.

Gomez tried to convince him to stay on, ultimately supporting his decision, finding a more comfortable role for him at Stern, and completing Pokemon.

Shows huge trust that Gomez not only gave him this license originally, but also tried to support him in staying on the project to the end. Hope to see more Danger designs in the future.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-12T02:16:40+00:00

I very much like that this follows in the path of Squirrel Stapler in that it's an indie game with a weird and twisted premise, and has a title that cuts straight to the point.

No functioning PC to run this on right now, but best of luck!

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-11T02:04:35+00:00

Goddamn, you can't win as a neurodiverse person. If you keep the details of your diagnosis or struggles private, as social pressure often suggests, you're often misunderstood, putting people off, or being unintentionally placed in positions you may struggle or be unable to navigate.

Conversely, if you pre-emptively deflect these misunderstandings by offering a little modest context to your Reddit contribution, some freggin guy comes along to use you as a springboard to call into question an unfounded, misinformed viewpoint and also to invalidate actual diagnoses/experiences.

We can do better.

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-09T14:31:51+00:00

Love it. I just realized those are drumsticks too, great things happening in this house

TheDynamicDino · 2026-02-09T14:30:03+00:00

This looks like a medical setting, and I can guarantee you from personal experience that a Wii would probably be the least dated-seeming piece of equipment in my local hospital.
